Religious holidays that are celebrated all over the world, like Christmas, can look different depending on where you're celebrating. And different religious holidays that get celebrated in the same parts of the world can sometimes look quite similar.

Because we all love borrowing recipes from all over the world, take a look at what people will be putting on their plates during the holidays all year long.

Celebrators in the festive spirit may drink a mulled wine called Glühwein out of decorated, sometimes boot-shaped mugs.

French-speaking parts of the world also tend to eat seafood during le Réveillon — the French Christmas Eve feast. The highlight of the meal is typically shellfish like lobster and oysters.

And, of course, don't forget the foie gras.

Traditionally, French meals of any kind are known to go on for many, many hours — long enough to give anyone a little bit of indigestion. To combat that, there's an in-between course called le trou normand — liquor-soaked sorbet.

Joulupöytä is the Christmas spread in Finland that features ham, bread, fish, casseroles, vegetables ...

... and mulled wine!

In the two weeks leading up to lent, Greeks from Cyprus will often prepare by eating a lot of meat and cheese. During the week of Kreatini observers eat a lot of afelia, souvlaki, and tavva — pork stew, lamb skewers, and a baked lamb and vegetable dish.

Perhaps the most important holiday in Korea is Chuseok — the harvest festival. The feast usually features Galbi-jjim, jeon, and japchae — beef short ribs, savory pancakes, and a glass noodle dish.

One of the crops celebrated in this harvest festival is rice. To honor the crop, Koreans make songpyeon — rice cakes usually stuffed with chestnuts, red beans, or sesame seeds — a staple food for the celebration.

Hanukkah is typically celebrated with a feast of latkes and sufganiyot — potato pancakes and jelly doughnuts. Both are fried in oil commemorating the miracle that set precedent for the holiday in the first place.

During Ramadan — the holiest month of the year for Muslims — observers fast every day from sunrise to sunset. While the holiday is known mostly for the fast, it's also known for the special foods Muslims eat when they break the fast every night.

American Thanksgiving is traditionally all about the turkey.

There are plenty of sides to load up your plate with, too. Think green beans cooked five different ways, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, some sort of gourde, and let's not forget the stuffing.
